UCLA Lab School is the laboratory school of the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies. Located on UCLA's main Westwood campus since the 1950s, it currently serves 450 students ranging in ages from 4 to 12.[1]
Founded as a demonstration school for the Los Angeles branch of the California State Normal School in 1882, the school was previously known as University Elementary School (1929-1982) and Corinne A. Seeds University Elementary School (1982-2009).[2] The name was changed in 2009 to better convey the school's purpose as a laboratory for research and innovation in education.[3][1] CONNECT, an onsite research center, allows educators and researchers to explore ideas about teaching, learning and child development.[4]
